Yeah Yeah Yeahs Rock Motorola Droid Launch in NYC

November 7, 2009

Don’t get us wrong: we love Mac. In fact, we’re typing this post from our beloved G5 right now. But anyone who argues that the keyboard on their iPhone is “sleek” or even remotely usable is a bullshit artist.

“I don’t mind not having a flash!”

Lies.

Motorola has tapped into these glitches by creating the Droid, their new, virally-campaigned, interchangeable-batteried, touchscreen-with-full-keyboard “anti-iPhone” with five-megapixel camera and flash, which came out Friday exclusively through Verizon Wireless.

So you can imagine our excitement when we were invited to their launch party Friday night at New York’s Angel Orensanz Foundation! Especially when we found out Yeah Yeah Yeahs were playing!!!

It was our first time seeing the YYYs, and Karen O absolutely killed it. The frontlady rocked “Shame and Fortune,” “Gold Lion,” “Soft Shock,” “Black Tongue” and tons of other songs, while cryptic “DROID DOES” signs flickered in the background.

Check out a glimpse of the magic (which includes Karen performing in the audience and eating her microphone), below.

“I guess everyone has their wild side, and mine was halfway between being really shy and kind of a goofy spazoid. I never bit anyone… but I slapped a lot of butts… Like, slapping the butts of my grandparents and babysitters. When I wasn’t shy, I overcompensated.”

Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontlady Karen O always looks fantastic, but we were particularly impressed by this photo of her at YYY’s Chicago tour opener Tuesday night!!

Between the patterned dress, that feathered glove and the gelled ‘do, KO looks like she’s shopping for a new default!!

Sold!!
